Thank you for the outpouring of support and prayers over the last few weeks.  I have been overwhelmed with cards, beautiful floral arrangements, and Mass cards.  Losing a mother, regardless of one’s age, is not easy, and comfort received from friends is a blessing.

I would like to share a verse that my mom had written on a tiny piece of paper, which I found on her dresser.  “In Memoriam:  Every blade in the field, every leaf in the forest, lays down its life in its season as beautifully as it was taken up.” ~ Henry David Thoreau.

Again, thank you.   Judy Furlong
